World renowned crate-digger and culture ambassador Gilles Peterson will always bring you to a new world. Whether it was the brave new world of hip-hop in the 80s, the experimental acid-jazz of the 90's, progressing into the sounds of Brazil and Africa towards the new millenium. Now his most recent project has connected him with cuban jazz pianist Roberto Fonseca. Live New Cuba Sound brings together the traditional sound made familiar from the time of The Buena Vista Social Club while fusing salsa, reggaeton & hip-hop to take 2 great generations forward with one movement.
